I think the issue here is why bother doing all that work to harvest and keep S-23 dry yeast when it's already relatively cheap compared to the Wyeast and White Labs variants.
Don't forget that in order to harvest and make up decent sized quantities of this stuff, eg, you want to put the stuff away in stubbies, you may be spending extra money on DME or LME in order to provide starters for this yeast and that can add to the overall cost and therefore negate the original saving by going with dry yeast in the first place.
I tend to plan my beers and if I have dry yeast like this or W34/70 or US-56 etc etc, I'll do two or three batches and repitch fresh wort onto the yeast cake in the fermenter, after racking the fermented batch into secondary. I don't have the hassles of making yeast starters, I get several brews out of the one sachet and all it took was a bit of prior planning to prevent piss poor performance!!
If that's too hard, then just keep some of the slurry and re-use it in the near future. I tend to only use the slurry for 2 or 3 brews before ditching to avoid the risk of mutation or autolysis etc...
Why scimp out on a 5 buck sachet when you've spent four times that on the kit and more again on the steeping grains, malt, hops etc. Do you really want to hamstring your work by keeping and/or re-using dodgy yeast???
